rails--rails/railties/CHANGELOG.md

• Adds support for multiple databases to rails db:migrate:status. Subtasks are also added to get the status of individual databases (eg. rails db:migrate:status:animals).

  Gannon McGibbon

• Use Webpacker by default to manage app-level JavaScript through the new app/javascript directory. Sprockets is now solely in charge, by default, of compiling CSS and other static assets. Action Cable channel generators will create ES6 stubs rather than use CoffeeScript. Active Storage, Action Cable, Turbolinks, and Rails-UJS are loaded by a new application.js pack. Generators no longer generate JavaScript stubs.

• Refactors migrations_paths command option in generators to database (aliased as db). Now, the migrations paths will be read from the specified database configuration in the current environment.

  bin/rails g model Chair brand:string --database=kingston
        invoke  active_record
        create    db/kingston_migrate/20180830151055_create_chairs.rb
  

  --database can be used with the migration, model, and scaffold generators.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Adds an option to the model generator to allow setting the migrations paths for that migration. This is useful for applications that use multiple databases and put migrations per database in their own directories.

  bin/rails g model Room capacity:integer --migrations-paths=db/kingston_migrate
        invoke  active_record
        create    db/kingston_migrate/20180830151055_create_rooms.rb
  

  Because rails scaffolding uses the model generator, you can also specify migrations paths with the scaffold generator.

  Gannon McGibbon

• Raise an error when "recyclable cache keys" are being used by a cache store that does not explicitly support it. Custom cache keys that do support this feature can bypass this error by implementing the supports_cache_versioning? method on their class and returning a truthy value.

  Richard Schneeman

• Support environment specific credentials file.

  For production environment look first for config/credentials/production.yml.enc file that can be decrypted by ENV["RAILS_MASTER_KEY"] or config/credentials/production.key master key. Edit given environment credentials file by command rails credentials:edit --environment production. Default paths can be overwritten by setting config.credentials.content_path and config.credentials.key_path.

  Wojciech Wnętrzak

• Make ActiveSupport::Cache::NullStore the default cache store in the test environment.

  Michael C. Nelson

• Emit warning for unknown inflection rule when generating model.

  Yoshiyuki Kinjo

• Add --migrations_paths option to migration generator.

  If you're using multiple databases and have a folder for each database for migrations (ex db/migrate and db/new_db_migrate) you can now pass the --migrations_paths option to the generator to make sure the the migration is inserted into the correct folder.

  rails g migration CreateHouses --migrations_paths=db/kingston_migrate
    invoke  active_record
    create    db/kingston_migrate/20180830151055_create_houses.rb

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Deprecate rake dev:cache in favor of rails dev:cache.

• Deprecate rails notes subcommands in favor of passing an annotations argument to rails notes.

  The following subcommands are replaced by passing --annotations or -a to rails notes:

  • rails notes:custom ANNOTATION=custom is deprecated in favor of using rails notes -a custom.
  • rails notes:optimize is deprecated in favor of using rails notes -a OPTIMIZE.
  • rails notes:todo is deprecated in favor of usingrails notes -a TODO.
  • rails notes:fixme is deprecated in favor of using rails notes -a FIXME.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Deprecate SOURCE_ANNOTATION_DIRECTORIES environment variable used by rails notes through Rails::SourceAnnotationExtractor::Annotation in favor of using config.annotations.register_directories.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Deprecate rake notes in favor of rails notes.

  Annie-Claude Côté

• Don't generate unused files in app:update task.

  Skip the assets' initializer when sprockets isn't loaded.

  Skip config/spring.rb when spring isn't loaded.

  Skip yarn's contents when yarn integration isn't used.

• Make the master.key file read-only for the owner upon generation on POSIX-compliant systems.

  Previously:

  $ ls -l config/master.key
  -rw-r--r--   1 owner  group      32 Jan 1 00:00 master.key
  

  Now:

  $ ls -l config/master.key
  -rw-------   1 owner  group      32 Jan 1 00:00 master.key
  

  Fixes #32604.

  Jose Luis Duran

• Deprecate support for using the HOST environment to specify the server IP.

  The BINDING environment should be used instead.

  Fixes #29516.

  Yuji Yaginuma

• Deprecate passing Rack server name as a regular argument to rails server.

  Previously:

  $ bin/rails server thin
  

  There wasn't an explicit option for the Rack server to use, now we have the --using option with the -u short switch.

  Now:

  $ bin/rails server -u thin
  

  This change also improves the error message if a missing or mistyped rack server is given.

  Genadi Samokovarov

• Add "rails routes --expanded" option to output routes in expanded mode like "psql --expanded". Result looks like:

  $ rails routes --expanded
  --[ Route 1 ]------------------------------------------------------------
  Prefix            | high_scores
  Verb              | GET
  URI               | /high_scores(.:format)
  Controller#Action | high_scores#index
  --[ Route 2 ]------------------------------------------------------------
  Prefix            | new_high_score
  Verb              | GET
  URI               | /high_scores/new(.:format)
  Controller#Action | high_scores#new
